I have a 3/4 full can of 2103-4 slow activator dated 1/2018.
I just opened and looked in the can with a small but powerful flashlight. It looks good to me. Totally clear all the way to the bottom. It's been stored in my shop which probably doesn't drop down any lower than 50-55 in the winter and stays below 90 in the summer.
I painted my El Camino with SPI SS white 2 years ago but got some hail damage on it yesterday evening. It was in my garage but with the door open when an unexpected storm hit while I was eating dinner. Quarter sized hail with 60-70 mph wind driving the hail straight sideways into the garage. It's a detached garage and I couldn't close it without getting hammered myself to go out there. I had my indoor cover on the car too and it still dinged it. I counted 16 dings on the tailgate, 1 on the stainless trim and 8 on the quarter panel. Put holes in my cover too and it was expensive one. I've got Grundy insurance and called in for a claim today. I'm hoping they will include my cover on the settlement.
I have enough left over paint to repaint the tailgate and entire quarter but need to know if I need to buy a new quart of activator or not.
